Description

THE DEFINITION OF DISC MOWER-CONDITIONERS

Even in tough conditions, a genuine Discbine disc mower-conditioner swiftly turns heavy crop into fast-drying windrows or swaths. An extensive model lineup provides you with numerous reliable choices. From the economical seven-disc models with a modest, nine-foot cut up to the highly productive 10-disc models that quickly knock down sixteen-foot with every pass, there’s a model that’s suitable for your acreage and operation.

A CUT ABOVE THE REST: MOWMAX™ AND MOWMAX™ II CUTTERBARS

H7000 Series models cutting up to 10’ 4” inches feature the proven reliability and performance of the classic MowMax disc cutterbar. For the greatest capacity, Discbine® Series 313 and 316 center-pivot models feature the MowMax II disc cutterbar, a cutterbar designed for the higher demands of large harvesting operations. It incorporates the large discs and heavy-duty components also found on Durabine™ disc heads for New Holland Speedrower® self-propelled windrowers.

MowMax and MowMax II cutterbars feature a true modular design for smooth, quiet, trouble-free mowing as well as fast and inexpensive servicing. Driven through individually sealed gearboxes with dedicated oil reservoirs, modules are never at risk for oil starvation while cutting on hillsides. In the event that your mower hits an obstruction, the exclusive New Holland ShockPRO™ hubs absorb harmful impacts, protecting the cutterbar drive from damage. Even better, they’re quick to replace in the field so you can keep cutting when the weather is right. Accidents happen and in the event of a significant collision, the true modular MowMax concept fully contains damage to the effected module to minimize damage to the rest of the cutterbar. How? Break a knife? MowMax II cutterbars now feature optional QuickMax™ knives that provide you with the ability to change out knives in a matter of seconds.

3-YEAR MOWMAX™ PROTECTION

You not only get the best disc cutting performance in the business with every Discbine disc mower-conditioner, you get the peace of mind of 36 months of internal Cutterbar protection. Three full years of coverage on both the MowMax and MowMax II cutterbars includes the base one-year warranty on the full machine plus two years of additional protection on the cutterbar drive line components. It’s another New Holland exclusive.

MowMax Cutterbars: Making Tall Hayfields Look Like Close-Cut Lawns: Close cutting is standard with all MowMax cutterbars. How close? Less than one inch, which makes your tall hayfields look like close-cut lawns after you’re finished mowing. Low-profile-design rock guards allow the cutterbar to run at a shallower angle on the ground for less wear, less damage and a more consistent cut height. The Discbine® header is suspended independently from the trail frame, allowing it to closely follow changing ground contours and reducing stubble damage and skid shoe wear. Use the adjustable header flotation springs and the 2- to 10-degree cutting angle adjustment to cut your valuable crop. A mechanical cutting angle adjustment is standard on 9’ 2’’ models, but a hydraulic control is provided as standard on 10’ 4’’ models for precision on-the-go cutting height adjustments.

The ShockPRO™ Advantage: ShockPRO™ hubs save you hassle, time, and repair costs by heading off potential damage to gears and module drive shafts. They absorb the impact, protecting drive components, and are quick to replace in the field so you can keep mowing when the weather is right.

H7230 and H7330: These two models make a 10' 4'' cut and require only 80 PTO horsepower for operation. H7230 mowers offer the choice between a chevron-style intermeshing steel or rubber roll conditioning system, while the H7330 is equipped with the LeaningEdge flail system. A curved tongue with a clevis hitch is featured on both models. Looking to make sharper turns? A two-point swivel hitch or drawbar swivel hitch (shown) are also available to provide 90° turns while eliminating tire scuffing and making headland turns easier. The swivel gearbox maintains the PTO angle straight through the turn, eliminating constant velocity joints and extending driveline life and reliability.

Conditioning Rolls or LeaningEdge™ Flail

Chevron Intermeshing Rubber Rolls: Gentle chevron rubber intermeshing rolls provide full-stem crimping and cracking with a scrubbing action while handling the leaves of high-value feeds delicately, making it the ultimate solution for alfalfa and clover. This is possible because of the large 10.4-inch roll diameter, the rubber compound, the intermeshing fit and profile of the lugs. These features work together to grip the crop and generate an even flow of crop through the rolls to provide an even spread into fast drying swaths or windrows.

Chevron Intermeshing Steel Rolls: Durable chevron steel intermeshing rolls are designed for use with all crops, but show a real advantage in cane-type crops, grain forage crops and extra-tall grass crops. The chevron pattern of the steel lugs provides aggressive full-stem crimping, smooth crop flow, and even distribution into fast drying swaths or windrows. Rugged all-steel roll construction resists wear better than rubber, providing a long life even in highly abrasive conditions.

Torsion-Bar Roll Pressure: Year after year, New Holland’s torsion-bar roll-pressure system is proven to be the most effective design for delivering consistent, thorough conditioning. The no-tools-required hand crank makes it easy to tailor roll pressure to the crop without crawling under the machine with wrenches. The unique, over-center linkage momentarily relieves roll pressure, allowing crop slugs or foreign objects to pass without plugging for non-stop mowing.

LeaningEdge™ Flails: For fast drying of grass hay, choose New Holland LeaningEdge flail conditioning. The 20-degree tangent of LeaningEdge flails creates more outward pressure, pushing crop against the adjustable conditioning hood for more thorough conditioning. The semi-swinging design ensures crop is released at the ideal moment to form uniform, fast-drying swaths or windrows. For lighter conditioning of delicate crops, raise the hood away from the flails. Or, for maximum conditioning, lower the hood to increase the crop friction. An optional textured hood liner offers even more aggressive conditioning of difficult crops. For more delicate handling of legumes and delicate grasses, an optional slow-speed kit is also available for the LeaningEdge flail conditioning system.

QuickMax™ Blade Change System

Change Knives More Quickly: The QuickMax system is available for all MowMax™II disc cutterbars as a factory option or you can upgrade your current machine by contacting your authorized New Holland dealer.

Saves Precious Time: Time is precious when you’re making hay, and the new QuickMax system allows you to quickly change damaged knives or flip an entire set so you’re back clean-cutting quickly. Because the QuickMax system allows you to change knives with discs at a 45-degree angle to the cutter bar, you can change blades in just one-half rotation of the cutterbar, saving you time compared to changing traditional bolted knives. Patented New Holland knife-lock technology assures knife retention in the most difficult conditions. Best of all, the system does not require the use of special blades. It works with any approved New Holland knives for your machine.

Patented eccentric knife nut design- A notch on the back of each blade attachment nut ensures best-in-class knife retention.

Unique Blade-change tool- The tool pries the spring plate down to release the knife from the patented knife nut, quickly releasing each blade. Check for wear of the knife nut with the integrated gauge on the tool. Flip the existing blade or swap it out for new then stow the special tool on board your Discbine™ 313 and 316 models for quick in-field blade changes.

Unique rock guards- Every new MowMax™ II cutterbar features specialized rock guards to accommodate the QuickMax tool. The specialized design allows you to change knives by rotating the disc just 180 degrees one time instead of the four individual disc rotations required on competitive models.

Additional Options

Customize Your Discbine® Performance: New Holland provides you with a choice of features and options to tailor the performance of your Discbine disc mower-conditioner to your needs.

Easy Switch from Swath to Windrow: All Discbine models feature fast and easy windrow shield and swath gate adjustments, without tools, so you can quickly adjust to crop and moisture conditions and your harvesting method. Spread the cut crop in a fast-drying swath or into a tight, three-foot-wide windrow that’s ready to bale or chop.

The Advantages of Spreading Wide and Thin: University tests confirm that the more leaves are exposed to the sun, the faster crops dry and the more feed value is retained. Quick drying reduces sun bleaching and gives you an advantage when you need to beat the weather and bale or chop before the rain. The WideDry™ conditioning system and swath board wedges features on the center-pivot Discbine 313 and 316 spread the crop wide and thin. For H7000 Series models, a wide and thin crop-spreading deflector kit is available to spread crop to the full width of cut, exposing more crop to the sun and providing faster drying. The kit is fitted to the swath gate with the windrow shields removed. Visit your New Holland dealer for complete details.

Replacement Knives to Match Crop and Soil Conditions: All knives feature two cutting edges and can be flipped for double the cutting life. 14-degree smooth knives are standard and provide the best choice and value for most conditions; 14-degree serrated knives offer extended wear in abrasive conditions; 18-degree smooth knives (Discbine 313 and 316 only) are more effective in down crop conditions by providing more crop lift; 18-degree serrated knives (Discbine 313 and 316 only) offer an advantage in down crops as well as extended wear in abrasive conditions; 7-degree smooth knives offer clean cutting with less ash content, and will reduce crop blow down in light or short crops; Rock knives are designed for durability in rocky/stony conditions

A Wide Selection of Skid Shoes: Numerous skid shoes are available to match your cutting needs.
